- Yes
- AFib detection or ECG
- Yes
- Method
- Oscillometric upper-arm measurement during deflation with Gentle+ pressure control. Side switch selects single measurement or AFIB/MAM mode; three measurements with 15-second pauses produce one analysed result. Individual results are not displayed; a fourth measurement is taken if one is questionable. First actual on-sale date unresolved
- Accuracy
- Exact November 2023 E-V10 guide gives systolic 60–255 mmHg, diastolic 40–200 mmHg, pulse 40–199 bpm, static accuracy ±3 mmHg and pulse accuracy ±5%. France page instead gives blood pressure 20–280 mmHg and pulse 40–200 bpm; global support also gives pulse 40–200. Range differences remain explicit. Cuff-pressure display 0–299 mmHg is separate
- Clinical validation
- STRIDE BP accepts equivalence to BP A100 for adult and diabetes populations, with 22–42 and 32–52 cm cuffs. Headline reflects registry acceptance by equivalence rather than a separate exact-model validation trial. Broad maker population and AFib accuracy claims are not treated as independent exact-model findings
- Features
- AFib screening only operates in AFIB/MAM mode, not standard single measurements. It is not an ECG recording or diagnosis, despite stronger French product-page wording. Cuff-fit and arm-movement indicators, coloured classification scale, low-battery warning, heartbeat beeps and automatic switch-off after approximately one minute
Cuff
- Cuff fits
- 22–42 cm
- Cuff
- France maker specifies a preformed M-L 22–42 cm cuff. Exact guide lists optional S 17–22, M 22–32, L 32–42 and L-XL 32–52 cm sizes; these are not all supplied
Connections and memory
- Readings stored
- 200
- Bluetooth and app
- No
- Memory
- Automatically stores the last 200 readings with date and time; oldest overwritten when full. M-button recalls previous readings and clears all history. Individual stored readings cannot be cleared, though a newly displayed result can be excluded before storage. History survives battery replacement but clock must be reset. No separate user selector established
- App
- USB PC link to Microlife Blood Pressure Analyzer+ software, using a Mini-B 5-pin connector. Computer controls the device during connection. No Bluetooth or mobile-app transfer; current software compatibility must be checked separately, not inferred from old software CDs
- Power
- Four 1.5 V AA alkaline cells; approximately 920 measurements with new batteries, without a separate AFIB/MAM-cycle count. Microlife DC 6 V, 600 mA adapter stops battery-current use when connected. NiMH cells supported with external charging. French supplied-items list includes adapter, while its voltage-source line and global guide call it optional; bundle difference unresolved
Design
- Display details
- LCD with date/time, M-memory and ON/OFF buttons, side time control and 1/3 AFIB/MAM switch. USB socket and DC adapter input. IP20
- Size
- 152 × 92 × 42 mm; 393 g including batteries in exact guide and maker pages
- In the box
- France maker lists storage bag, four AA cells, USB cable, BP Analyzer software, mains adapter, diary and M-L 22–42 cm cuff. Guide permits bundles without cable/download voucher and calls adapter optional. Product resource is French regional maker page; global support and multilingual guide include English. Guide's isolated wrist-cuff sentence conflicts with its upper-arm intended use and cuff table and is not transferred
